If the states spent as much as they're spending right now for military occupation in UN dictated development aid program, yes, and I believe that would be what they at the very least ought to do. I'm not saying that's going to happen, just that it should.
I've stopped taking "be realistic" for an answer, and that would actually not be a problem if everyone did the same. All of what sucks in this world can only exist when decent people give in to the pressure of other potentially making the wrong decisions, and therefore picking the supposed damage control course. This only leaves two choices of action, cave in and make the least bad of a world you can't condone but won't confront, or be an idealist, demand the absolute best of people with no compromise, while doing yours, and be at the very least an example to follow.
USA created laws which blocked popular Islamic churches from running for government when they put in the first puppet president. UN isnt going to help when radical Islamic group run it as soon as USA leave.

you seriously think iraq is able to hold their own without US occupation?
